Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

Again, this is a very similar picture to what we pray, according to in Job chapter 1.

I want us to think about the dynamics here.

Let's not be too hard on Job's wife.

She's lost all of her children, yet in her grief, sorrow, she is sending.

She is cursing God and she's encouraging Job to curse God.

Job looks into the eyes of his wife and says, don't speak like that.

God gives good.

God ultimately is sovereign over evil.

This picture of faith and Job, a trust in God, even in the face of suffering and evil.

This is integrity.

This is a wholeness of faith, not just a trust in God when things are going well,

but a trust in God, a commitment to blast God, even in the face of evil, adversity, pain, sorrow, and suffering.

Yes, there's a lot of mystery here when you think about God's sovereignty over even evil,

although he is not in any way the author of evil.

Everything in good that emanates from God is good, but yet we see a picture.

All over scripture of his sovereignty over evil, which means he has power to turn evil into good.

Ultimately, put on display in what he did at the cross of Jesus Christ,

taking the worst evil in all of history and turning it into the best day in all of history,

for all who trust in him.

So we pray, God, help us to hold fast our integrity, even when people close to us may not understand.

Even when people close to us may make different decisions, God, help us each to bless you, never to curse you,
